ASSESSMENT PLAN
Added 1994-95
Students in the teacher education program do student teaching which is evaluated by their cooperating teachers and the College of Education.
1999-2000 ASSESSMENT
1998-99 ASSESSMENT
1997-98 ASSESSMENT
The department had no student teachers this year.
1996-97 ASSESSMENT
The department had one student this year who successfully completed student teaching.

Students were generally commended for their content knowledge and professional ethics/practices. Recommendations for improved classroom practices included more effort being spent on integrating technology into classroom instruction, more collaboration with resources available on-site (such as media specialists, colleagues) and better classroom management skills. Caveat on the latter: every student was evaluated as MINIMALLY "meeting the standard expected of a first-year teacher;" where improvement is needed in the professional sequence is management and technology skills. These conclusions on this subject have been brought to the attention of the PTE department. In every competency, students were found at least to meet the standard expected of first year teachers.
